2. Second Escape Attempt - Sewers -

"Master... why aren't you saying anything? Am I really a useless maid?

So am I supposed to be abandoned?"

"Ah... My glorious master... I'm sorry... I brought you some tea.

"To throw it away like this... Please punish this stupid maid."

The two maid sisters who are now sticking next to me are answering me without stopping.

I long for it. Daido, the blue-haired maid on the left, is a subject of concern from the moment we first meet her.

He was a person. He asked me every day, "Are you abandoning me?" He asked me not to abandon him.

Because I had been clinging to you without resting for even a moment.

They asked me to reply every few minutes through the internal messenger of the mother ship.

Sending text messages is only for a day or two, and I've been craving affection without resting for a moment.

It was her, but lately it's gotten really, really bad.

And even Sirius, who made mistakes often but was never this obsessed

Now she longs for me more than her older sister, Daido.

"Everyone, please step away....leave me alone."

"Ah... I guess I'm going to be abandoned after all.........."

"Please... punish me..."

Suddenly, Daido took a knife out of his pocket and held it to his own neck.

"Rather than being abandoned by my master, I would rather die... a life that is worthless.

There's no point in continuing."

I couldn't bear to see someone die in front of me, so I grabbed her knife.

I snatched it and threw it away.

"It's not that I'm abandoning you...it's that you're abandoning me?"

"That can't be true, Master..."

"Yeah... absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely that will never happen

No, Sirius's glorious master...so...punishment for the mistake.."

One person tried to commit suicide right in front of my eyes, and another person came to clean up and broke a glass and a book.

After making a lot of mistakes while dropping, he asks for punishment. Although he made a lot of mistakes in the past,

Now it seems like they're doing it on purpose to attract attention.

At that moment, Sirius's emotions surged so much that he clung to me without realizing it and thrust his face into my face.

After I slapped him on the cheek, I was surprised and apologized.

"Ah... sorry..."

"Ha..haeut....a little more...a little more...please leave your hands all over my body!"

Damn...was it M? She was sticking even more stickily, even blushing, and Daido, who was next to me,

As I was paying attention to Sirius, he brought my hand to his chest and told me to look at him.

Started shouting.

"Why is it only Sirius... why do you only give in to Sirius's wishes? I want you too, Master...

Please don't abandon me, please don't abandon me, please don't abandon me, please don't abandon me

Please don't throw it away, please don't throw it away, please don't throw it away, please don't throw it away.........."

My head and body feel so heavy. I've been like this for an hour now, and it's so... so mentally exhausting.

Just then, the door opened and someone came in. It was the blue-haired Eagle Union light cruiser, Helena.

What brings you here...

"You two... I came here because I heard so much noise outside. How about letting the Commander rest for a bit?

You look so tired right now."

"....What does it matter to you...?"

"If you like the Commander, shouldn't you at least not make it difficult for him? Right now, Commander

Can't you see that your face has turned pale?"

"You came here to kick us out and take your place, bitch..."

"...I'll go with you. Commander, you need some rest right now."

The maid sister who had been glaring at her gritted her teeth, bowed politely, and left.

Helena gave me a small wink and went outside.

...But, thank you, but has she ever been here at this hour?

----------------------side Helena-----------------

I was spying on the commander through the SG radar today too. But he was out cleaning since morning.

Wouldn't it be great if two royal maids clung to the commander? A lowly maid, to the commander.

It was really absurd to stick together.

A mentally retarded person with no merits other than big breasts, and a idiot who can't even clean properly.

It really didn't feel good to be stuck, but seeing the commander getting annoyed by those two made me feel something.

I laughed. Yeah. The commander doesn't care about those stupid cows.

And seeing him get slapped on the cheek made my spirits soar. The commander has been

I've never laid a hand on any ship girl. That idiot Sirius.

It was the first time I'd ever been hit. But, she clung to me and said it was even better? Wow... Even an idiot has his limits.

But then, a brilliant idea popped into my head! I had to get those two out of the commander's hands.

Then, wouldn't the commander think of me as a more trustworthy and helpful woman?

I ran straight out and ran to the control room and brought that stupid sister out.

The two of them looked back at me and glared, but what can I do? The commander already had the two of you in his mind.

There is no room. If I slowly fill myself into the commander's heart like this, the seat next to him will be

It'll be mine. Haaah... I have to go back quickly and enjoy myself while looking at the commander again.

----------------------------------------------

I dragged my body outside, feeling a bit unwell. I had no appetite at all, but

Since I had to survive, I headed towards the PX. When I went to the restaurant, they came next to me,

Because I can't eat comfortably because of those who are trying to drag me away.

"Commander...where are you going?"

"I'm just taking a walk, so leave me alone, Richelieu."

To Richelieu, who is the commander-in-chief of the religious nation of Iris Libre and serves as a cardinal

I got caught. That's not a good sign. If they knew I was going to buy frozen food at the PX,

They'll definitely try to drag you to Iris's dorm.

"It would be wrong to send the Commander alone. I will carry it out."

Richelieu follows with a smirk. A chilling chill is felt within that smile. At one time,

She was really neat and elegant, but now she is with me and the ships under her command.

It is often seen that they are trying to drag them back to their home country. If they are taken away, they will probably never be able to return to their home country.

I don't think so.

"I just want to get some time alone to gather my thoughts, so get away..."

"There's no way to leave the commander alone."

I tried to push her away as she slowly linked arms with me, and tried to head towards the PX. But

She whispered as if she read my thoughts.

"Are you planning to eat frozen food alone again today? I don't want to go to a restaurant."

"If you know, you can just go where you want to go. Why do you keep following me?"

"That's...of course..."

Suddenly, he forcibly links his arms with mine and starts to exert force as if he's going to break my arms.

As my expression contorted in pain, she dragged me towards Iris's quarters.

Is this happening again? I can't beat their brute force, which can tear apart a tank with my bare hands.

I, who had nothing, was dragged away without mercy.

"Jeanne, Saint Louis, we have a distinguished guest, so let's have lunch together. Call everyone."

"Commander...you're here."

"My Canaan..."

I forced myself to sit down at the old-fashioned table and started shoving the food I was given into my mouth.

I can't enjoy food because of the excessive stress I've accumulated. Even now, I'm watching my every move.

Their gazes are so burdensome.

"It would be nice if you came here instead of just buying instant food every day."

"Yes, we can really...prepare you well."

"No, I don't want to bother you that much, I just like eating quietly by myself."

If you look closely at them, they seem to get along well on the outside, but in fact they are

I feel like they're keeping me in check. I guess they're allies until they get me to Iris.

After I was dragged away... I don't even want to imagine it.

"I'll have to go first because of my afternoon schedule. Sorry."

"I know you don't have any plans for the afternoon, Commander."

"No, it definitely exists. What are you looking at that makes you say it doesn't exist?"

"Commander, everyone at home knows your schedule. Are you treating us poorly?

How can I make it so you can spend more time with me... or rather, with us? Why do you make up schedules that don't exist?

Are you going back? Yes? Yes? Yes?"

I ran outside, trying to avoid Richelieu, who was trying to catch me. My stomach was churning. I ran for a long time.

I threw up everything I had eaten down the drain. As I tried to walk again, the sky began to turn yellow.

Lost consciousness.

"Ugh.....ugh....."

"You're awake, Commander."

"Here?"

"This is the infirmary."

"How long have I been lying here, Percy?"

"It's been 30 minutes since Joan of Arc was carried and brought in. There are no other problems, but it's probably the commander's

Looking at the recent situation, it seems to be mental fatigue due to accumulated stress... but this can be cured with medication.

"It's not about what to do."

"I know very well."

"These days, the wake-up time is like that, and the commander will probably starve to death like a bird that can't catch a bug."

Percy, one of the few ship girls who doesn't rush at me in this home port, is acting as usual.

It started to tick. I guess it's because I was carried in while we were playing a game and it ruined the mood.

"This is a sleeping pill. This is an antidepressant. This is a tranquilizer. Be careful and only take it when necessary."

"thank you."

"huh..."

I sighed, got up, and returned to my office. On my way back, what caught my eye was a manhole.

Sewer pipes are ultimately above ground, but what about sewers?

I quickly returned to the command center, unplugged the computer cable, and checked the facility blueprints within the base.

Tonight, the commander sets out to escape.

After informing the maid that I was not feeling well and would not eat dinner, I memorized the blueprint and took care of the extension cord.

After getting ready, I lay down to get some sleep in advance.

Midnight. I quietly stepped out the window, hid myself, opened the manhole cover in a secluded area, and climbed inside.

I came in prepared with a raincoat, mask, and boots, turned on the light on my mining helmet, and moved forward.

Although it is a bit complicated, it is a way to get out of the base by following the blueprints that you have memorized and taken pictures of in advance.

I walked towards the road.

Since I brought a cutter, I can just cut the lock and move forward if there's a blockage in the middle.

However, something feels off. I hear a different sound mixed in with the sound of my footsteps.

It seemed so. So I walked out of step for a moment, and, clearly, I heard someone else's footsteps in the distance.

I heard it. Goosebumps ran down my spine. Someone is following me! I stopped again as I was walking.

At the sound of footsteps again, I picked up a few stones and turned off my headlamp. And then, at regular intervals,

I threw a stone toward the water far away.

Plop. Drum. Plop. Drum. They're definitely walking in that direction! I happened to have an old MP3 player with me.

I took it out, turned the speaker volume up to the max, threw it against the wall, and headed for the exit. Instead of a headlamp,

I moved forward, turning on the small flashlight dimly to make sure there was no wall in front of me.

"Huh...huh...now I just need to cut one lock...!"

The last lock at the exit. I just need to cut it and I'll be out! I struggled to get closer and find the lock.

I froze for a moment.

There were no locks, and reinforced iron bars were in place. Even a hacksaw couldn't cut them.

Thick and sturdy bars.

"What...what is it...?"

"My lord... I knew you would come here."

"Shinano?"

"In my dreams I see you heading here and breaking away from my arms

"We installed detectors at every manhole entrance and blocked this place..."

I'm breathless. It was already being read? And in a dream?

"Thank you for your help, Amagi. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to make it this far.

"You couldn't have predicted it and pushed it in."

"Uhuhuhu... We can't let you leave us."

"Then, my lord. Let's go back together..."

With a dull thud, Shinano fell to the floor. I looked at Amagi in surprise.

Shinano fell down after striking the back of his head with a club taken out from his sleeve.

He started to stomp on my head.

"Why should I... hand over the commander to you? I told you to escape here.

"Thank you, but I won't hand over the command to you."

Amagi, who always had a bright smile on his face, was shocked by Shinano's fainting superior.

The laughter that came from the head-stomping, murderous intent was palpable. Anything that got in their way was annihilated.

I felt a will to kill him.

"Ah...ah..."

My legs gave out and I collapsed. How on earth did I end up like this? And today, too.

Are you going to end up getting caught?

"You are the only one who can heal my aching body and mind... never, never, never, never

Never, never ...

Never, never ...

I won't miss it.........."

Amagi, who was stroking me with a mad smile while thrusting his face right in front of mine,

He raised his club and said.

"Would you mind taking a break for a moment?"

And with a dull, sharp pain, I lost consciousness.

------------------------------------------------

"Haa...haa...whoosh...the commander's smell............"

When I opened my eyes, I was in Amagi's room. She was licking and caressing every nook and cranny of me.

He took out a syringe.

"I'll prescribe you a very special medicine, Commander..."

"Stop it now...."

"Haaah..."

She covered my mouth with her lips, stuck a syringe into my side and injected the medicine.

I injected it. And... I... felt my body burning, lost my senses, and climbed onto her.

And when I opened my eyes with a great sense of exhaustion, I was in my room and it was already 10 in the morning.

Today was another failure.
